United Airlines Announces New Irish Flights

Feb. 7, 2012 - PRLog -- Irish tourism recently received a positive boost in the form of a new flight route. The route is set to link Ireland to America through their respective capitals. The Dublin to Washington flight will be operated by United Airlines and will be commencing on the 22nd of May this year.

Sean Fenton, director of Enchanted Ireland Tours http://www.enchantedirelandtours.com  welcomed the move by United Airlines saying that it is “Good news for 2012”.

The news comes as a major boost for Irish tourism and is set to provide a well needed influx of tourists for the upcoming summer months. According to reports the flights will be departing from Dulles Airport rather than Reagan International airport.

The aeroplane will hold a maximum of 180 passengers and will also have a premium economy section of fifty seats. This is the first airline flying to Ireland to offer the in-between category between economy and first class.

United Airlines have recently merged with Continental Airlines who already have flights to Ireland from Newark. The new route will go a long way to strengthen the links between the two countries.

The United Airlines news was broke simultaneously to the news of the Aer Aran ‘pull-out’ from Galway airport. The local airport may now have to effectively become a private airport as there will be no scheduled services. The new and improved motorway between Galway and Dublin is seen as a major factor in the departure of Aer Aran.
